Jessica Vogelsang

Jessica Vogelsang grew up loving two things: books and dogs. After spending four years of high school buried in the bowels of the journalism classroom, her father convinced her to pursue a medical degree instead. After realizing that humans are grosser than dogs, Dr. Vogelsang compromised and went to vet school.

Unable to resist the urge to write, Dr. V began pawcurious.com in 2009 as an outlet for writing about her work with animals. Pawcurious is recognized as one of the first and most widely read animal blogs, and Dr. V has since gone on to write for websites such as Vetstreet, dvm360, pet360, and Petfinder.

Dr. Vogelsang's debut memoir, All Dogs Go to Kevin, will be released July 2015 by Grand Central Publishing.

Dustin Stevens

I originally hail from the midwest, growing up in the heart of farm country, and still consider it, along with West Tennessee, my co-home. Between the two, I have a firm belief that football is the greatest of all past-times, sweet tea is really the only acceptable beverage for any occasion, there is not an event on earth that either gym shorts or boots can't be worn to, and that Dairy Queen is the best restaurant on the planet. Further, southern accents are a highly likeable feature on most everybody, English bulldogs sit atop the critter hierarchy, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Saturday night spent catfishing at the lake.

Since leaving the midwest I've been to college in New England, grad school in the Rockies, and lived in
